The Breath You Take

He looks up from second base
Dad's up in the stands
He saw the hit, the run, the slide
There ain't no bigger fan
In the parking lot after the game
He said "Dad I thought you had a plane to catch"
He said
"Yeah, Son I did
But life's not the breath you take
The breathing in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain't what it's all about
You just might miss the point
Trying to win the race
Life's not the breath you take
But the moments that take your breath away"
Fast forward 15 years and 1000 miles away
Boy's built a life and he's got a wife
And a baby due today
He hears a voice saying "I made it Son"
He said "I told you Dad, you didn't have to come"
He smiles and says
"Yeah, I know you did
But life's not the breath you take
The breathing in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain't what it's all about
You just might miss the point
Trying to win the race
Life's not the breath you take
But the moments that take your breath away"
Just like it took my breath when she was born
Just like it took my breath away when Dad took his last that morning
Life's not the breath you take
The breathing in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain't what it's all about
You just might miss the point
If you don't slow down the pace
Life's not the breath you take
But the moment's that take your breath away
